Mar 22, 2007 I liked it! The big, tight, light brown head overflowed the glass. Dark brown, translucent. A mellow, roasted malt flavor was nicely balanced with the hops. Slightly more hearty than the English Brown Ale style. The vanilla was subtle, barely detectable. I found it smooth with a pleasant malt aftertaste.

May 2, 2008 Draft at Capone’s. This one is terribly under-rated. Poursn medium brown with a huge chocolate milkshake looking head. Nose is vanilla bean, chocolate, almond, caramel malt. The palate is medium in heft, perhaps a bit watery. The flavor was very nice, a mix of vanilla bean, caramel malt, chocolate, and brown sugar, all pretty well melded together. I’d drink this again in a heartbeat.

Jul 4, 2007 A dark clear brown with a thin light moka head. A pleasant aroma of vanilla and light chocolate. In mouth, a rather light caramel with vanilla beans. Overall, rather thin. Bought at Party Source.

Feb 22, 2008 12oz bottle (thanks to my wife for brining this back from Buffalo for me!). She picked this up at the Flying Bision Brewery (maybe they are now contract brewing it vs. Wagner Valley?). Poured a medium reddish / brownish color with a small sized off white head. Aromas of burnt malts, earthy, some caramel, and light vanilla. Tastes of vanilla soda, caramel, and a little nutty.
